Antonovich: LA County Cost for Illegal Aliens is $1.6 Billion Per Year
““With the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion dollars a year,” said Antonovich. “These costs do not include the hundreds of millions of dollars for education.”
To put that in perspective, Guv Brown just cut education, statewide, by $700 million—less than half the cost of illegal aliens in LA County.
In total, statewide, the real cost of illegal aliens is approximately $21 billion—at all levels of government—and that equals the current cash deficit of the State!
Nor does it take into consideration the costs of honest Californians not working, going on unemployment and welfare.
Since the mainstream media won’t tell you about the costs of illegal aliens, the California Political News and Views will.http://capoliticalnews.com/2012/03/0...lion-per-year/
